Would you trailer with the car facing backwards?

I would suggest you're massively over thinking it.
The weight distribution of a caterham (with a lump in the driving seat) is actually rearward, based on any corner weights I've seen. OK, when you remove the lump and it's going to move forward. But it's still pretty central - remember you've got a not inconsiderable mass of diff out the back, plus fuel, plus it's more 'mid-front' than front engined - the engine is still between the axles & behind the front wheels, rather than over/in-front of the front axle.
Quick google says a CSR is 49/51 front-rear - for whatever that's worth.
At worst you'd probably just move it a couple of inches to get a sensible nose weight.
